14 new songs of attitude-fueled punk rock. Punchy and hard-hitting with a street-tough rock 'em sock 'em headstrong approach, a combination of sassy raw power and catchy melodic sensibilities. Recorded at Salad Days Studios in Washington DC with Brian McTernan (SNAPCASE, CAVE IN, IN MY EYES).

As far as music goes, it is fast, enjoyable, and all around good. songs like No Revolution, God Bless the S.O.S., Tarantulas Attack, and Terrorist are high points on this album. I highly recommend this to fans of Jade Tree records.

Fuck 'Black Tape', this is the explosion album you should own. Virgin fucked them over so bad. It seems like they changed everything about themselves to make them appealing to a major label audience. i was so disgusted by the new version of 'No Revolution'. This cd is the Explosion you came to love. When i first heard this, i immediately fell in love with it and when i heard about Black Tape, i was quite excited to hear new material from them, but i was disappointed. If you really liked 'Black Tape' im sure you'll like this, but just not as much. Definitely get this before you get 'Black Tape', should you want to make such a foolish decision.

Great punk rock album. It has kind of an old school feel to it. Much better than Black Tape. The music is great and you can feel the desperation in the vocals. If you're new to these guys, get this CD first. You won't be disappointed.

Good album for people looking for a mix of new and old punk. The vocalist has a kind of raunchiness to him that gives it that early punk feel, but it doesn't lack thought for melody and catchy moments. All around good album...nothing astonishing though. First couple of tracks are the best.

It is the best explosion cd. I am reviewing this almost a year after I purchased this cd. The new cd is pretty bad compared to this. This is some good street punk but with a poppy feel. I still listen to this record a lot. No revolution is the best song on this cd. I would recommend this to any punk fan.

Every second of every song on this CD is fucking great!!!! Not one song is better than the others. One of the best bands in the scene right now. Good straight forward punk. Saw these guys on my 21st birthday, got shit faced, got up the next day with no hang over, it was great. Drink water kids!!!

This is a totally kickass CD that will make you want to get up and scream time and time again. Its been in constant rotation in my CD player for months, and I don't see it leaving any time soon. This is just really good, loud, and fast music with great lyrics.

This album is great for kids who are huge hard core fans but need a short break from all the speed and screaming. The rifs are definatley catchy and in no time you'll be humming Tarantulas Attack all day long.
